IPL 2025: Under the dazzling Wankhede lights, all eyes weren’t just on the pitch- there was a buzz in the stands too. Amid the sea of blue, one stylish figure stood out, passionately celebrating every dismissal with a toddler in tow.
It wasn’t long before fans realized: It was Sanjana Ganesan and little Angad, Jasprit Bumrah’s biggest cheerleaders, cheering for Mumbai Indians in MI vs SRH

Under the gleaming floodlights of the Wankhede Stadium, it wasn’t just the captains exchanging handshakes at the toss that stole the show. When Mumbai Indians won the toss and opted to bowl first against Sunrisers Hyderabad, all eyes were on the pitch- and in the stands, where Jasprit Bumrah’s partner, Sanjana Ganeshan, cheered him on alongside their young son- Angad.
The new-ball pair set the tone immediately. Trent Boult, ever the craftsman, fashioned the first breakthrough by uprooting Abhishek Sharma with a teasing inswinger. His disciplined line kept SRH’s powerplay in check, building pressure and applause in equal measure.
As the contest edged towards its climax, Bumrah returned to bowl the death overs and promptly delivered. His pinpoint yorker to Klaasen skidded ominously into the pads, resulting in a crucial wicket and finishing with figures of 1 for 21. Each delivery seemed to gain an extra yard of venom, prompting the assembled crowd to gasp and cheer in turn
With every thunderbolt yorker and clever slower ball, Sanjana and their son jumped to their feet, high‑fiving fellow fans. Beyond the roar of the crowd and the tension on the pitch, Bumrah and Sanjana epitomise a partnership built on mutual respect and unbridled enthusiasm. Whether sharing a quiet smile as another yorker zips through or exchanging encouraging words between overs, their bond is clearly fuelled by cricket and genuine affection. Sanjana’s cheers, punctuated by her son’s delighted claps, seem to ground Bumrah even as he unleashes his fiercest deliveries.
Buoyed by their bowlers’ brilliance and that infectious family support, Mumbai Indians kept SRH on a short leash of 162/5. As the required run rate climbed and wickets tumbled, the die was firmly cast: a clinical display that underlined MI’s credentials this IPL season. As the cameras panned to Jasprit Bumrah’s partner Sanjana and their young son- eyes gleaming, hearts thumping in sync with every MI moment- the crowd roared louder.
With Mumbai Indians already into their chase and Sanjana and their son still cheering from the stands, one can only wonder- what memories are yet to be made tonight?
